Eve's chimerical thoughts

It still feels like a dream that I actually completed my 2 months internship at Taiwan.
一切的一切看似漫長坎坷，卻殊不知當你在享受這一切的時候，就是你該離開的時候。

回想起去年，當教授開始宣布關於實習的事項，叫我們可以找地方實習的時候，我就告訴自己，這是我唯一可以出國闖一闖的時候。
其實我也不知道為什麼自己那麼想出國，可能從小就懂得被政府歧視的感受，就一直覺得，國外的月亮比較圓。也不知道哪來的勇氣，自己找實習地方，自己找房子，自己買機票，爸媽點了頭，說走就走。
要到台灣實習之前的那段路程上我覺得蠻坎坷的。首先，是姐姐的反對-在於錢的方面，也可能是她不想爸媽那麼擔心我，還有一切的未知數。然後是學校問題，教務處一直在拖延我的申請，要催三催四，還要我爸打電話去大罵一頓才願意在最後一秒生出那份批准。當時候的緊急狀態已經是到達那種連教授也叫我放棄出國的念頭。我還在辦事大樓外面大哭 =.= 最無奈的還是簽證問題。因為馬來西亞到台灣一個月內是免簽證的，而我這個實習又兩個多月，請教了錯誤的對象，起初以為也是免簽證，怎知在最後關頭才被朋友點醒 幹！要辦簽證的時候，一直被移民署刁難。可能他看我這個像是去跳飛機的吧 還跟我要這些那樣不可理喻的文件 當時候真的不懂要去哪裡生。那時候我連台灣的衛生部 福利部 農業部也通過電話 都說沒有這種文件 -.- 最後是在出國的前一個禮拜才拿到簽證的 不過才可以逗留60天 老娘還是預期了兩個禮拜 被罰錢。靠北哦哦哦哦哦哦哦哦哦..................................................

很多人問我說 為什麼一定要台灣？
可以說是我唯一負擔得起的國家吧 房租和吃飯都差不多
環境也沒那麼複雜 而且四年前有來過一個月 成功被洗腦
為什麼不去新加坡？
兌換率2.8咧 啊老娘不干脆去新西蘭更好？
啊就去新西蘭嘛 反正哥哥和嫂嫂在那邊呆過9個月 也比較熟悉了
可是老娘不喜歡只有山丘和農場的世界啊
老娘要逛街買東西吃喝玩樂誒
去泰國嘛不錯
去泰國老娘乾脆呆在本地 eww eww ewwwww
香港呢有沒有考慮過
他們連自己人民都不夠房子住了 老娘去哪裡租房啊
中國咧
哇靠 老娘出去吃個東西都不知道成分正真到底是什麼
日本 老娘最想去的其實是日本
可是老娘不會日語啊啊啊啊啊啊啊 日語要學起來不容易
而且上課很貴～

OK 就決定是台灣了
首先是google 了台北所有的獸醫院的質料
因為想說在台北什麼都比較方便 也離飛機場比較近
有 email 的 email, 有私訊的私訊,
甚至連台大的附屬獸醫院也直接 email 院長 <<真是哪來的勇氣
一個個問願不願意接受我這個不三不四科系的學生實習
結果台大獸醫系院長隔二十分鐘直接回我說:

周晉澄 <chouchin@ntu.edu.tw>

Sorry, 本院不接受非獸醫學系及低年級學生實習.

囧... ok 老娘不是獸醫系學生抱歉 (so hurt)
 因此老娘就從此放棄向台灣大學的獸醫院提問惹.......
台北的其他動物醫院不是沒回應 不就拒絕說不缺人手
全國動物醫院是有回信了 但是他們討論了兩個月結果說

聖宗張 <acinusdoki@gmail.com>

不好意思，

討論後可能結果不ok，

抱歉讓你等了那麼久才有結論。

也祝你學習順利。

全國動物醫院 培訓部 張聖宗主任

boooo........... 你就把我當成你們本地獸醫系學生就好了嘛.......
why so serious~~~~~~~~~ 浪費老娘兩個月 才說不收

然後就覺得算了 要不要找找看台中的獸醫院看看
我忘了到底email了多少家醫院
就知道有粉絲頁的我也會照樣私訊
就突然

so today is my first day of work. but then urgh whatever. im blogging here from today onwards. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

okay so i arrived quite early, 20 minutes walk. then i just sit outside until a vet assistant came and guided me in. she took me around and visited the fucking 5 levels of building. and went to see every assistants and vet there. everyone was like so fucking busy and dont even have time to look at my face. i was like, die lo, why they no friendly de ? they dun like me isit ? . then the assistant too me and gave me 2 scrubs (the green2 clothes that doctor wear for surgery). so she told me i am going to wear this everyday i come to work. i was like: okay, so i dont have to worry about my fashion ? (what shit fashion, now u dont even have a life please) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

everyone was like so busy, nobody have time to guide me what i need to.  do.  so i have a strong sense feeling i dont belong here, insecurity, hopeless, stupid, u are nobody. the vet doctor that suppose to guide was on MC today so i just followed everyone that needed help. but then when i ask do they need any help, they said it was okay. then i lagilah feeling not needed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the first task i was asked to help is to hold a rabbit that a vet wanted to inject for rehydration( a fucking 50ml syringe =.= ) on it and force feed. then it kept moving so the vet said it is very dangerous. i was like haih sorry la i hold a rabbit also cannot. sad die me.  then one of the assistant saw me so retard then she went and teach me how to hold a rabbit properly. and how to discharge the used equipments, sterilize equipments, preparing the sets for surgery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
after that some customers kept coming in continuously so i get the chance to observe and listen to how the vet talk to them and do diagnosis + analysis.
here are some treatment that i observed the whole day ( i feel so stupid just standing beside, but they say it is okay)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. force feeding （灌食（草粉））, injection for rehydration (皮下點滴）. ( they check the dehydration buy pulling up the skin and see how fast the skin went back to normal shape, so when the skin is shaggy and slow to reshape back, it means it is dehyrated. normal bunnies' skin reshape back quite immediately)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. castrations of 2 sugar gliders. i was amazed that how fast the surgery can be done, just under 10 minutes. first they use gas anestasia ( 氣麻 （氣體全身麻醉）） either in a box or by using mask. then shaving the balls. sterilize the balls. keeping track the breathing rate is very important so that the animal do not die suddenly =.= cut open the scrotum, pressing out the testis, pull out, then tying up the gland. seal back with the tissue glue (組織膠） dont even need stitches what the heck ! wait until they wake up then they can go home ! just make sure that they didnt bite their wound.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. then some other animals general checkup. a. asking for appetite b. body activities c. environment temperature. then start doing the general process. 1. weighing 2. excretion analysis 3.blood test 4. x-ray. then checking for the ear, eyes, mouth, palpating the abdomen and an ECG test.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. one lizard that do not have sufficient heat supply was sick and lungs got infected. ( insuficient heat > decreasing of immune system > infections) the owner didnt know that it need one direct supply of heat. so the symptoms was decresing of appetite, soft and liquid excretion, inwards curve of eyes, inflame and fungal infected appendages.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. rabbits and guinea pigs need different and alot of vege for different ages. soft shelled tortoise are recommended to take in supplement of calcium. reptiles needed alot of heat supply. 貂 (furret or fruit fox or racoon lol wth i didnt check) cannot take in sugars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. saw one admitted bunny got a hole above its nose at the nasal cavity. i asked what happened. and one rabbit expert told me that it got too much secretions and blockage at the nasal cavity, but the usual treatment didnt work. so they decided to drill a hole at the nasal cavity ( wtffffffff) but she told me it can heal much later on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so i will be working 3 days then off 1 day from 9am-6pm. they provide lunch so it saved alot of money actually. the lunch box was very good. and a big cup of bubble tea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
conclusion, i feel worthless and stupid and hopeless. wth i spent these 2 years learning in dkhp ? im tired. my legs are killing me cuz i didnt have chance to sit the whole day. but grateful at the same i have chance to learn alot about these exotic animals. and yummy lunch lol.

An ACG event is approaching but your wallet-kun don't let you to afford any costume for cosplaying ?!

Well, fret not ! Now I am going to show you how to DIY a Japanese School Girl bow tie that appear in most of the anime !

Just match it with your formal white shirt + cardigan / blazer + cute pleated skirt ~
wolla~ You are now cosplaying as a anime girl !



What You Need

A+ B+ C = A big piece of satin cloth !
E = Needle & Thread ( or simply a sewing machine)
D = 60cm of ribbon
and of course A Pair of Scissors




This is how you measure and cut your piece of cloth.
*only cut at the bold line
*the thin line is for sewing
*make sure you draw your lines at the BAD SIDE of your cloth



Measure , cut and sew A first.

 Flip over


Fold in the right side to the middle


Fold in the left side to the middle


Make sure the both side are overlap then sew at the middle.


Fold the desire pattern of your bow


Sew at the middle


It should look like this


Measure and cut B.
remember to replicate of another one !


Sew at the doted lines and leave a blank space at the middle to flip over


Flip over using the space


After flipping over


Pinch the bottom part to the upper part at the middle


Sew it when you got the desired shape of it


It will become like this


Sew A and B together at the middle


Like this

Measure and cut C.
Fold it at the middle and sew at the side.



Flip over ~


Roll and cover the middle part of the bow then cut the excess part


Before you sew it, insert the ribbon


Sew and secure at the back side of your bow


Tadaaa ~ Thats it !
It is really easy and suitable for any newbie without any sewing basic skill because no matter how badly you sew, you wont be able to see it ! LOL

And yes, I did this entirely by hand, not machine !



This is how my Cosplay looks like !

See ya~

 So~ I just finished my first year of college in UPMKB and currently we are having a almost 3 months sem break !
Due to the excessive free time rotting at home, Im thinking of doing something that required more time to be done. I decided to give my dull new laptop a make-over. Else my sister been nagging on me that I dont love my new laptop that much, and my parents are afraid that I might scratch the surface of the laptop.

I took a few days to plan for the design, searching for illustrations and materials that are suitable for DIY cover, and of course to determine which theme suit you the best and you like it the most. Well of course, the ability of yours for completing your imagination is a crucial consideration too. If not, you might be giving up half way on your work and wasting your time and money.

Now I will be revealing the way I make my laptop cover.


1. Prepare your materials.
   :- your laptop,
    - your illustrations
 [ I drew and coloured the all Gens starters with macarons, credit to the owner of deviantart]
    - contact paper / self-stick book cover available in Malaysia Borders
    -your choice of gift wrapping papers [I am a blue maniac]
    -fabric tapes from Daiso
    -double sided tape
    -a pair of scissors



2. Layers of Contact Paper on your laptop surface
   Many of us would be afraid to damage our laptop surface by direct sticking on anything.
   So that is why we needed contact paper to provide transparent protection.
 This is how it looks like after 2 layers of contact paper

 3. Gift Wrapping Paper as cover's Background
   draw and cut according to your laptop's cover


4. Decorate your cover's background with fabric tapes.


Watch out for the mess you created LOL
I basically just ruined y whole living room while working on this.

 This is how it looks after sticking on all the tapes accordingly

 5. Stick your illustrations !
I drew my Pokemon on an A4 stickers and coloured them. Then, I stick them on a cereal's box then only cut them out to make them thicker and provide more texture on the cover.


I just stick them with double sided tape



6. Last layer of contact paper
Put another layer of contact paper on the completed cover.

 Till now, it basically just look and feel like a laptop cover in the market

 7. Stick it on your laptop!
Bash the generous amount of double sided tapes on your laptop after the contact paper, you wont hurt your laptop anymore~


Feel like something is missing although it is 99% done eh ?


8. Hemming gives the solid look and feel.
Use the leftover fabric tapes to stick at the side.
Now we are 100% DONE!


Feel free to DIY anything, you might get some unique surprise after you are done ;D

 The annually Japanese Film Festival 2013 was held in our school UPMKB
on last 7th and 8th December.
It is basically a Japanese themed festival that mainly about films.
On the 2 days festival, there a total of 7 films showed in out school hall.
Throughout the festival, there are many fun activities going around too !

Every admission to the films are free !
They even give you tickets for the movies.

 This is my trying out Yukata. Photo credit to the camerawoman- Christine Teh

Fact : Yukata (浴衣） which people always mistake as kimono, are usually only worn in summer and it is made of cotton. When both of these characteristic are negative, then it is probably a kimono。

and then we have Origami session with Miss Kiyoko.
This girl is Ana, the facilitator of this section.
Beside her is Maruan, a super genius little boy who was so expert in origami.

Kids nowadays are really unpredictable, they might be smarter than you !

 we also have some fun traditional toys to play with and sakura kirigami to try out.

Fact: Kirigami aka paper craft is different from Origami in the way that, kirigami involved in cutting the paper, while origami is just to fold the paper without cutting them.

 These uniforms are actually in real good quality.
The skirts have a special hook which I think it is common in Japan
And the blazer really makes me sweat!
These clothing materials are really good as you can feel it with you hands.
The texture is different.

This is me trying on the second uniform.
Photo credit : Thanks to Ana and Asha


Last but not least, the Onigiri ( rice ball) workshop.
Which is pretty fun other than the uniform trial.
You can actually make an Onigiri on your own and eat them.
We made Tuna filling Onigiri.
Makes me really wanna make more of them ~~~~



These were basically what I did in the festival.
Im really grateful that I joined this awesome festival to give a beautiful end for my 2013.
All I thought at first life in Bintulu would be super duper boring,
but these events proved that it is not.
2014 is coming, let's see what awaits us in the future.
Hoping for more fun activities !!!
